Description

Track two, Reality is More Beautiful, begins with plucky piano/harp melody, and Matt Van's signature vocals begin. This leads into a violin segment to build tension, and as is to be expected, the song reaches its first climax with a captivating lead from Matt Van combined with a dense synth pattern from Galdo.

This mass of violin, piano, harp, synth, vocals, and pitched down vocal tones combine to create a truly beautiful piece of music.

In the track, Van describes the relationship between dreams and reality. His main statement is that, as long as he loves someone, reality is better than even dreams. He reiterates this sentiment with the line "I don't wanna live in my mind, Get me out of this prison and into the daylight" soildifying the overall theme of this track.

There is also a sad hint in the line "why can't you love someone like me" implying that this love he feels is unrequited, and he would rather just feel it than live in his dreams.

Lyrics

[Ohhh, yeah]

 

In dreams we can get away

But I don’t wanna live that lie

I’ll stay awake for you

I’ll keep chasing you

Until the end of time

 

I’ll sew my eyes open

I don’t need to sleep tonight

That’s just what you do to me

‘Cause when you love some one

Reality is more beautiful

 

[‘Cause when you love someone]

Like me—why can’t you love someone like me

 

How can you run if you can’t see

How can you dream when you don’t sleep

‘Cause I don’t wanna live in my mind

Get me out of this prison

And into the daylight

 

Wake me up

When you love someone

Reality is more beautiful

Beautiful

 

In dreams we can get away

But I don’t wanna live that lie

That lie

That lie

 

In dreams we can get away

But I don’t wanna live that lie

That lie

Reality is more beautiful
